Manasie
is one of Canada's leading Inuit artists. Although he has suffered some
tremendous personal tragedies, his art has brought him solace and fame.
Manasie makes narrative sculptures, pieces that tell a story and has
revived the art of the drum dance. In this video Manasie talks about the
meaning of his art and the process of creation. His work is based on
Inuit myths, songs and stories and reflect the native ideas of the
balance between animal and human life that is necessary for all to
survive. Students will find the story fascinating, inspirational and
instructive. 24 min.
